Better With You

Chapter Twelve

Nakatulog ako dahil sa sakit ng puson ko kanina. Hindi ko naman sinasabi kay Greggy dahil nahihiya ako. May ginagawa rin kasi siya.

Nagising ako, at tahimik ang kwarto.

I stood up, and went outside kahit na masakit ang puson ko. Nakita ko lang siyang nakaupo sa upuan, at nag-gigitara. Nasa may dagat siya, may dalawang upuan, at isang bilog na lamesa.

Dahan na dahan lang ako, para marinig ang boses niya, kaso ang nag-hum lang siya ng song.

Umupo ako sa tabi niya, and looked at him. He smiled widely. His dimples are showing. Ack!

He moved his chair closer to mine, and made me rest my head on his shoulder.

"Can you sing me a song?" I asked.

He smiled, before nodding. "Of course, what do you want?" He asked.

"Kahit ano" I said.

"Hmm" He said, before setting up his guitar. Itinaas ko na ang ulo ko mula sa balikat niya para makagalaw siya ng ayos.

Nagsimula na siyang tumugtog.

There I was an empty piece of a shell
Just minding my own world
Without even knowing what love and life were all about

Now, his voice is my favorite!

Then you came
You brought me out of the shell
You gave the world to me
And before I knew,
There I was so in love with you ~

He stared at me, oh i'm getting weak.

You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feeling
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you

He smiled widely. I'm burning red. Don't don't don't smile, oh my god.

I love the touch of your hair
And when I look in your eyes
I just know, I know I'm onto something good
And I'm sure, my love for you will endure
Your love will light up my world
And take all my cares away
Where they can't bother me

"Tama na, stop it" I said.

"Why, you don't like it?" He asked, and pouted.

"I liked it, it's just-" I'm hesitating if I'm going to tell him this.

"What? Why Love?" He softly asked.

Oh gosh please.

"Ihh" I hissed.

He smiled, and put his guitar on the table. He looked at me, and rested my head on his shoulder. I felt him kissing the top of my head.

"You hungry? I'll cook" He said.

I just nodded. He smiled, and pressed his lips on my forehead before standing up. "Next time, tell me if you're hungry right away hmm?" He said, and guided me to stand up.

"Opo" I said, and looked at his eyes.

He smiled, widely. "I saw sparks in your eyes" He murmured, as he tucked my hair on my ear.

"What?" I asked.

"I like you" He said, caressing my hands using his fingers. He looked straight into my eyes.

I just smiled, and bit my lower lip. "Mind to stop saying those kinds of things, Mister?"

"I really like you" He whispered before making his gaze on the kitchen.
